1st Gen iPod touch Keeps Having to Be Re-Registered with iTunes

My 1st Gen. iPod touch works very well, with one exception. Every few weeks I'll turn it on and I'll get the picture of the cable and the iTunes icon - which is what you get the first time you use your iPod touch and means it needs to be registered with iTunes. This will happen both if I plug it in to my charger and when I just simply turn it on with the power button. I'll then take the touch to my computer and use my syn cable and plug it in. When the iTunes window comes up, on the left column it shows my touch, but the name I'd given it has gone back to the default name. I'll rename it again, but again within a week or two the same thing happens again. I'm stumped. I'm using an iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 and a white MacBook, also with 10.5.6. All my software on the touch, MacBook and iMac are up to date. I have very few apps on my touch and lots of room left on it to store stuff. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi Brenda,
That screen, with the iTunes icon and the USB cable, means the iPod is in recovery mode.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 provides more information about the mode and how-to use it to restore your iPhone or iPod touch.
Are you using any 3rd-party accessories with the iPod touch?
Does the accessory have the Made for iPod logo?
Try restoring the iPod again, setting it up as a new iPod, and testing it without any 3rd-party accessories.
If the issue persists, the iPod may need hardware repair. Just make a reservation to have a Genius take a look at it or call AppleCare.

IPod Touch 1st gen suddenly not recognized in Windows

I have Windows Vista, and the 1st gen ipod touch. It was syncing last night but this morning I plug it in, and it doesn't sync. I get an error message from Windows saying it couldn't recognize the device, and to reconnect it. I un-plug then re-plug it back in, but I get the same error...oddly enough my iPod is not showing any error messages on its screen at all. I read the troubleshooting article and preformed the steps, with no help.

I'm trying two things, since we discovered a major part of the problem was my connector. I switched cables with my sister and her computer immediately synced my iPod.I bought a new cable ut now back home, my iPod doesn't do anything. It just charges, doesn't show up anywhere, no 'new hardware' notification shows up. So I will try uninstalling everything, just what about if I have Quicktime Pro? Will I have to re-enter my registration code into it again?

Returning 1st gen ipod touch for 2nd gen?

Does anyone know if I could return my 1st gen ipod touch for the 2nd gen or even give it to them and get money off the 2nd gen? I want to return my first gen because i have noticed that some of the apps that I want to download require a mic. If you no if i can trade mine in please respond. Thank you

... and the second generation Touch doesn't have a mic anyway. Chris will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, if you want to use a mic-dependant App on a 2nd gen Touch, then you need to buy a headphone/mic combination to plug in instead of standard headphones. I don't know +at all+ about the 3rd gen.
Non-mic Apps can run on a 1st gen Touch if you purchase the software upgrade, but whether that also includes mic-Apps, well, once again, I don't know. (Not much I do know really, is there? )
Perhaps you need to consider how much you need mic dependant Apps before rushing into the major expense of a Touch which may not actually meet your needs. There's always the iPhone of course.

Ah, there you go, in this post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2322224&tstart=30 - sparky67 says the 3rd gen 32G and 64G Touch comes with a microphone/headphone combination.

IPod Touch 1st Gen and 3.1 update DELETES volume slider

I had a perfectly working iPod Touch 1st Gen/16GB until I updated to 3.1 software. Now I do not have a volume slider.
Yes headphones are in but there is no place to adjust the volume. There is previous, next arrows and play and pause AND its centered in the rectangular area, but no volume slider.
I have restored it 3x in various ways. I have tried 5 times to downgrade the operating system but ALWAYS get an error, so it never completes. Of course the ipsw files where found using google because there isn't any links that work on Apple's site for previous iPhone software. If I try to restore to 3.1 right after that it goes through perfectly.
So it seems that Apple has locked out downgrading once you upgrade! All I want is my volume slider back. How can I get it back if 3.1 deletes it everytime and I can't go back to the previous operating system?
Thank you.

I too have had this exact same problem, except that I was running 3.0 and hadn't updated to 3.1. I put my ipod on the table overnight, after listening to it, and when I picked it up the next morning, theres no volume slider. I never even unplugged the headphones. Double clicking the home button while on the home screen would bring up the popup to skip songs, and there it says "Dock Connection" even though it not connected to a computer. Multiple reboots an no effect. I've tried different sets of headphones, to no effect. Its like the iPod isnt detecting them being plugged in. The worst part is i DO get sound in the headphones, but no volume control, and the sound level is turned really low. So the headphones ARE working.
I updated to 3.1 just now, and the problem has NOT been fixed. Theres no way anywhere in the settings to adjust the volume. Theres only a limit slider, so I have no way to turn up the volume loud enough to actually HEAR things.

I have ipod touch 1st gen and it will no longer detect that i have headphones in the headphone jack and so i cannot turn up my volume. Is there any way it can be fixed?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Ipod touch now frozen after trying to upgrade from 1st gen to 3.1.1

I've got a 1st gen ipod touch and bought the upgrade software from i-tunes to upgrade it to 3.1.1 so I can add apps to my ipod touch. It started off well but then just froze!! My ipod touch has the apple logo and a progress bar which is partly completed. I left it for ages and nothing progress and when I checked Itunes it said it was no longer responding. I shut itunes down and tried to restart it but it just keeps saying its not responding. Any idea on what I can do to get my Ipod touch back to 1st gen or to complete the upgrade to 3.1.1?

- Try resetting the iPod;
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect to computer and try to restore via iTunes- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If you can't turn the iPod off (e.g., logo, spinning wheel) always shows, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

IPod touch 1st Gen. Headphone jack...HELP!!!

So I had my 1st Generation iPod touch for years now. I actually kind of lost a few years back and now I found it (under my bed all along)! If you didn't know the 1st gen. iPod touch doesn't have any speakers so to listen to music you have to listen through it from a headphone jack. So I tried listening to some a-ha but there was no sound. I couldn't hear a thing. I started twitching my headphones a little bit and the music came but it was all clutter. Finally, after several minutes of twithing and turning...I could hear the song but then my headphones moved a little and the sound became clutter again. After more intensive tries, I came to the conclusion that the headphones have to be in a VERY precise location for it to work properly. I also used the same headphones on my laptop and they were flawless. So...how do I fix this problem and is Apple going to help me on this or do I have to buy something to fix this? Please help because I had this thing for a long time now and I really don't want to throw it out.

If cycling the plug n the jack does not solve the problem
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. However, it is not worth it for a 1G iPod

Ipod Touch 1st gen music problem.

Hello, I have a 1st gen Ipod Touch 16gb running 3.13 and iTunes 10.2.2. Tracks play fine with iTunes, but the same tracks loaded onto my ipod will not play, no matter what format they are in( I have tried mp3 and AAC, 128kps and upwards). Done a reset and restore, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no change.
Initially the first 10 or so tracks would play fine, then anymore after that would not. After a restore none would play. Everything else works well. Before the update there was not a problem, but i need this update as some of the apps will not work with anything beforehand. I am guessing that this may be at the root of it all, but am not sure what to do. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks. stuhux

Hello again,
all tracks were from different CDs, ripped using 3rd party software and placed in iTunes library as mp3s(all work in other media players), AACs created through iTunes from original mp3s. I can certainly buy music in the future from iTunes, but it would cost a fortune to replace my existing collection, which is more or less useless to me if I depend on the Ipod Touch as it is. Is it possible to restore to an older working update, as music is the main reason for having it in the first place? The apps will have to be sacrificed. I don't really want to buy another one if this can work. Thanks again.

Why does it take. So much longer for YouTube videos to load on my iPad 1st gen. then on my iPod touch?

This is not the place to make a point. This is a user to user support forum. I do not need instructions about the use and care or alleged failure of cables. At no time did I ever say or imply that you were an idiot, that is your statement and words, not mine. Take the time to Google and you will find instances where there have been injuries and death dealing with 3rd party cables and chargers. The abilities that Apple has for manufacturing and what business decisions they make in creating their products is nothing more than speculation, and that is not allowed under the terms of the forum that you agreed on when you joined here.

Multi-Touch Gestures disabled on 1st gen iPad in iOS 5?

Apple, please fix this!!! This is absurd! Why on earth would you handicap 1st gen ipad owners? There is no hardware limitation with the 1st gen, so why remove this from iOS 5 for ipad1? As a developer who used xCode I enabled the new multi-touch gestures on my iPad and they were a great addition, and now to read that under iOS 5 they are no supported on first gen ipad is simply beyond me. Outrageously stupid. I already installed iOS 5 on my iPad. So I am simply out of luck????

Please fix this Apple! I have been using them for a while and going back to not having them on my iPad 1 is VERY frustrating!
Productivity levels decrease while using the iPad in the "old school" way clicking the home button all the time to switch through apps. If gestures are to be non existent in iPad 1 I think it would be good to know the technical reasoning behind this. Also, the online documentation should be reviewed and promote this as part of iPad 2 and above, not iPads as described in:
http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html
"iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps."
Thanks and looking forward to a fix

Will a USB cord for iPod touch fit the 1st Gen Nano?

Hi, I am about to purchase a used 1st gen nano because the wireless fm transmitters are cheaper, and to be honest, I don't want to ride around with my 3rd gen Touch in my car all day. But it doesn't come with the USB cable, and I was wondering if I could use the same one for later my iPod touch?

Yes, since the creation of the dock connector, all dock connectors have been the same... They were originally available in FireWire, but that cable specification was discontinued before the iPod with video...any new iPods will not work with them, however, all iPods with a dock connector will work with the USB version of the cable...

IPod 1st Gen (Touch wheel, 10GB) isn't recognized - missing software?

Recently, my 80GB video iPod decided to simply die on me, so I dug out my very first iPod, from 2001 or '02 I believe.
It turns on fine, can scroll through menus, but there's nothing on it anymore - plug it into my computer (firewire-to-firewire), and the iPod goes through a menu where there's the disc and a magnifying glass and eventually a check mark (connotating that everything's fine) - but it never docks onto the computer or shows up on iTunes.
I've SCOURED the internet for old iPod software updates, trying to find one early enough, so it can recognize it and I can restore and hopefully the problem will be fixed - but there's been SO many iPods since then, it's ancient, and no support was found anywhere.
Does anyone have a solution, or a link to the earliest of iPod updaters? I looked for documentation, but it was 9 years ago - I don't have the CD anymore or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
*In the 'About' menu on the iPod, the current version that's installed is 1.5 - don't know if that matters.
**I'm trying to connect to a 15-inch PowerBook G4 (Aluminum?), currently installed with iTunes 8

The current version of iTunes should be able to connect to even the 1st gen iPod. The one you have is 2nd gen, if it's the one with the four clicking buttons around the touch wheel. I have one of those, and although I use it as my little emergency/maintenance FireWire startup drive (because the screen failed on it), it is still recognized by iTunes on my Mac. Over FireWire, of course.
The first thing you should try is to put it into Disk Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
Note: The procedure for your iPod is at the bottom, where it says +If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel+.
If that works, connect it to the computer. Hopefully it will appear both on your desktop and in iTunes. If so, use the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod's hard drive and initialize its software. The latest available version of the software for that iPod will be installed.
You may also want to try a different FireWire cable. It's just a regular cable, so you don't have to use the thin white one.

Ipod touch 1st gen is frozen, all I see is Apple logo for 10 secs and then screen goes black. What's wrong with it?

My ipod touch (1st gen) is frozen and does not respond. All I can see is the Apple logo for around 10 seconds and then screen returns to black. What is wrong?

Did you already try to connect in recovery mode and restore? iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore
